Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to external and internal space provision, natural light, outlook, privacy and natural ventilation

What decided it
The proposal would provide unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to single-aspect design, negligible sunlight, limited ventilation, inadequate amenity space, and compromised privacy, and would harm the character and appearance of the area through its incongruous siting and design.
